While Keypressed = False

More idiotic robotic frustrations: besides the irritation I mentioned yesterday from a website I frequent, there’s also another website that has a log in, and at the same time has a check box if the user wants the connecting machine to be remembered. Except that it doesn’t actually remember.

Despite having clicked that check box for a little more than a month now, I still have to log in every day I go there. So I guess that control doesn’t work.

@@ I’m showing “Contact” right now in my astronomy classes, directed by Robert Zemeckis.

I have seen it several times before, but I still find a lot of nuances in the work that I didn’t notice previously.

I still believe that this and “Forrest Gump” are his best works being on the same level, I believe, as anything Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Terry Gilliam, Christopher Nolan or Peter Jackson have envisioned and executed, before he fell into the mire of motion capture computer generated films with unfocused eyes.

Somehow these soulless representations of people still don’t have the heart his other human characters do.

@@ There was a text message from the college secretary saying that according to Brother Kenneth, there will be no classes on Monday. I don’t know if this is about the EDSA celebration, but the unexpected long weekend is very welcome.

Well, as much of the weekend is actually considered free time for some of us, since it’s the third batch of the college seniors’ retreat until Sunday lunch.

@@ And just in case word hasn’t gotten out yet, and we want this to be as well publicized as possible anyway, the MYMP/PNE concert in school on March 6 with the band fest contestants as the front act is pushing through.

The tickets are four hundred pesos each. Up to Friday next week there is a buy 10 get 1 ticket free promo.

It will be held at the covered courts, which means that at most there is two crosswise basketball courts between you and the artists, better than at the Big Dome for the same price.
